FCT: Abuja only rely on taxes – Wike reminds companies

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike
has called on developers in the nation’s capital to always cooperate with the
FCT Administration in the area of tax payment.

The Minister said this when a delegation from the Nadeem
Group, led by the Special Adviser to the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. George
Tolofari paid a courtesy visit to the FCT Administration on Wednesday.

Wike urged companies in the FCT to ensure the prompt payment
of its taxes, insisting the government would be unable to construct roads and
public buildings without the payment of taxes.

“…I also encourage you to make sure that you pay your taxes
because that is what drives the government,” Wike said.

“Abuja is not like other states where they get money from
the Federation Account. We are only relying on taxes”
